And It Came To Pass

The first rays hit me
Not of the sun but of hope
Hope begat of dreams,
Dreams begat of hope.

After the rain,the sun
Dawn signifies the end of darkness
Or so I heard.
If only wishes were horses
Oh,how I would ride
Ride into the eyes of hope
Hope trumped out of dreams.

But in all, nothingness lives
Futility in all and even in nothing.
Even babes are sure
Of the emptiness of life's fullness.
Futility of dreams.

So many live their dreams 
Or so they say
So many hope of the dreams they wished they lived
Emptiness resides even in the realisation of hope
If only they knew...

Hope will I relinquish not
My dreams will I not forsake.
Call me the dreamer, Merci
Continually will I seek realisations mercy.
To the heavens I raise my plea
Casting all my worries to the deep blue sea.


Dreams bloosoms into hope
Hope at the mercy of time and chance.
Transformed into reality's open gate

Testily I plunge
Plunge into the wiles of realisation
Gradually seeped into accomplishments smugged aura
Snugly enclosed in it's warm embrace
Never to let go.

Redemption

A cloud without a sun
So dim, it sets the heart to burn
Across the wild redemption is heard
Awakening the unknown to be bared.

All around the drums of revolution is heard
Flashes and grey smear the end.
The rhythm on a flat, tempo rising in every note
Like a drum on a strut crescendo climaxing as it wrote.

In the greens,
Some total obiesance, others undecided swaying and bowing.
For the crawlers,
Roosting was early, unceremonious, devoid of squacking and flapping.
As the rumbling and tumbling heated
The scurrying and scrambling ended.

Roofs thumping, pallets sated buckets filled
Puddles forming, earth elated streams tilled.

My Thoughts

life has it's ups and downs
it's highs and lows
with it comes a lot of crap
but what's most crappy?

Action speaks louder than words
now thats crap.
when you are in a mess 
and four men are set to give you stress
only words can placate their vex.

To err is human, to forgive is divine.
iI know men that make it an habit to err
all their faults, in one day they bring to bare.
When they say sorry
you should be worrried
cos when your back is turned
your heart they shall surely burn.

Old wine tastes better
i have never heard a sillier chatter.
Give me bitters, ale or lager
whiskey, cognac, all even the better
inebriation the sole aim
whatever the taste am game.

Your vote is your voice, let it count.
I can't even be cynical on this
their's always count more.

The patient dog eats the fattest bone.
My bitch just had a litter
and with every litter their is a sickler
he was the grunt of the squealers
he never got to mama's breast on time
and with time he died
a bone, he never had to dine.

Dress the way you want to be addressed.
It was visiting day at the prisons
on came a nun brighter than the sun
pious in body and soul, her gait straighter than a pole
she left their third leg rigid
am not kidding.

Every disappointment is a blessing in disguise.
Now this is no lie
am still trying to figure out who was behind the mask
when i got robbed on pay day.

A stich in time saves nine
I love this line.
when you try to take what is mine
believe me it wont be fine
even when you run to the court and get a fine
I will cut you up to bits.
and the stiches wont be nine.

The pen is mightier than the sword
reader, the above is one hell of a crap word.
when am with my big gun
you better drop your pen, cower and run.

Every day is for the theif, one day is for the owner
this is a no brainer.
The governor embezzled our money and left
he got all the praises... you should know the rest.

Make hay while the sun shine's
this should shed some light.
it was Norway inthe middle of the night
when the morrow came, there was still no light.
Make hay while the sun shines
is one hell of a crap.
cos when it should be lihht,
the sun is never in sight.

Let sleeping dog lie
i tell you no lie.
When all your Mutt does is to sleep and eat
when burglars come in to take and keep
you let the ungrateful beast suffer a bit.

The Meeting

It was a day like no other
ethereal was the feeling in my soul 
my longings knew no border
as hope soared in a thousand fold.

The rendevous pointed out
to the dot of 'i'
the fine print sorted out
 to the cross of 't'.

It was a date with destiny
to me a 'fait accompli'.

At the appointed time, i was on my way
my feet a myrmride, setting the pace
more like a tumbrel, wheeling me away
no clogs as i totered through every maze.

The spectacle was a deflation
to my soul, a siren's rendition.
All afore thoughts aflight
a vernal season, light turned to night.


I said the bye without a tear
avoidind the Becos Para Golpes.

After

Brackish lighthearted thoughts filled my mind
ticklish inebriation, buzzing my brains to doldrums
sensuous dilated webs co-arsing my entire being
hair brained inaction's taking its toll 
with its attendant carnage following in tow
a cacophony of whispers envelopes the abode
as rustled banters came from above.

And on and on it wrote 
the music playing with a stutter,
waltzing with a flutter
cringing from chatter
bursting with a clatter

And at last it cranked
with a clang, out it went with a bang
thump thump thump it clattered
in a flash it all shattered.
buzzing away noiselessly 
shimmering voidlessly.

The end filled the void
blackness lighting the path
the end heralding the beginning.
and at last it wrote 
death sprouting life.

Worst Morning After

I remembered the very first toss
The dare that emptied twelve cups
Disregarding the rules of engagemnt
Ales and spirits, vodka and brandy
I  just ordered bring them on.

I heard laughter in every voice
I relished the joy of every thought.
Then that last puff on the joint...
I blacked out.


It started like soft clicks
Hammering, then full blown drums
With the snares and that extra kick.
The trumpets of traffic broke the bliss
Hurriedly I awoke to the bugle
My head hitting the fan, literally.
I remembered my first day at work.

I Remember

I remember...
Being young, wild and free
With the gang fooling around all day
My actions incuring father's wrath
you are wasting your life mother will say.

I remember...
Sneaking up father's door
Bidding time to get my loot
Running up the corner store
Buying a brandy and a pack to boot.
